INTRODUCTION
The ATX BX2 mainboard is a high-performance dual-processor personal
computer mainboard based on the Intel® Pentium® II processor. The Intel®
Pentium® II processor supports MMXTM(Multimedia Extension) technology.
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel® 82440BX chipset to support
the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/AGP bridge. The
82371EB chipset integrates all system control functions such as ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides more
Energy Saving Features for the OSPM(OS Direct Power Management)
function. The Intel® 82371EB chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA/33 IDE that transfers data at the rate of 33MB/s.
The mainboard also supports the System Hardware Monitor Controller as an
optional function. This function includes: CPU /power supply/chassis fan
revolution detect, CPU/system voltage monitor, system temperature monitor,
and chassis intrusion detect(optional).

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard operates with Intel® Pentium® II processor with MMXTM
technology. The mainboard uses a CPU Slot called Slot 1 for easy CPU
installation and a DIP switch (SW1) to set the proper speed for the CPU.
The CPU should always have a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to
prevent overheating.

CHAPTER 2
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Note: If user set pin 5 of SW1to “ON”, then the motherboard can set
the 66.6MHz CPU to 100MHz FSB. Divide the CPU speed by the FSB
frequency and get the closest core/ bus ratio then set pins 1 to 4 of
SW1. Though the motherboard provides this function, it is not
recommended because it might cause instability, or unable to power
on. Long term usage may shorten the lifespan of the CPU. Thus, we
strongly discourage the use of this function except for testing
purposes. If this function is used and creates damage, the user will
take whole responsibility.
2.1-3 CPU Terminator
The CPU terminator is used, when only one CPU is installed. You must
always install the CPU terminator on the empty slot. For Example: If you
install the CPU on the 1st slot, then you must install the CPU terminator on
the 2nd slot or vice versa.
CPU Terminator
Important:
To use dual CPU, it is strongly adviced that same CPU speed and
CPU stepping is used: which means that if you install 233MHz in the
1st CPU slot, then you must also install 233MHz on the 2nd slot.

These connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports three
pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connector, always
take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the
+12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If your
mainboard has System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a
specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan
speed monitor feature.

Then, return to 1-2 pin position. To be able to clear the CMOS, you
need to unplug the power plug of the system, because there’s a 3V
standby power for PIIX4E chipset which is provided by the power
supply. Otherwise, the CMOS will not be cleared.

will boot up only when the power on switch is pressed. For Immediate Boot-
Up, the system will boot up instantly when the power connector is
connected into the system.
JIPWR
A. Factory Default Setting for JIPWR is “short” (Boot-Up by
Switch)
- Power Management Enabled: During Power On, press the power
button switch and the system goes into suspend mode. Press it
more than four seconds and the system will power off.
- Power Management Disabled: During Power On, press the power
switch button and the system will power off.

and 512MB for unbuffered DIMM: It provides four 168-pin DIMMs
(Double In-Line Memory Module) sockets. It supports 8 MB to 256 Mbytes
DIMM memory module.
There are two kinds of DIMM specification supported
by this mainboard: PC100 and PC66. If you use
66MHz CPU Bus Frequency, these two DIMM Specs. is
supported. If you use 100 MHz CPU Bus Frequency,
only PC100 DIMM Specs. is supported.
